In this compelling episode, Pastor Karl dives into Romans 14, exploring what he calls "Applied Christianity." This chapter challenges both seasoned and new believers to navigate the balance between personal freedom in Christ and public restraint for the sake of others. Pastor Karl unpacks the concept of spiritual maturity, emphasizing private liberty and public restriction as biblical principles rooted in love. He addresses the tension between those strong in faith, who live in the freedom of grace, and those weak in faith, who adhere to stricter rules, using the historical context of meat sacrificed to idols to illustrate disputable matters. Through practical examples like alcohol, Halloween, and homeschooling, Pastor Karl highlights how non-essential issues should not divide the church. He introduces the "law of love," urging listeners to prioritize others' faith over personal freedoms, and explains the Bema Seat judgment, where Christians are rewarded for their sacrifices, not judged for salvation. Join Pastor Karl for a thought-provoking discussion on living out faith with grace, love, and unity.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Today, we're discussing the recent passing of Pope Francis. As a Protestant, I don't hold to Catholic doctrine, and I've had some serious theological issues with the papacy—but that doesn't mean I won't stop to reflect when someone steps into eternity.In this episode, I'm praying for Pope Francis' soul and hoping he had a deathbed conversion—because no one is beyond God's reach. I also hope Catholics choose a biblical pope next time, not one more interested in pleasing the world than honoring the Word.We'll talk about the things he did right—his care for the poor and moments of humility. But we'll also look at the dangerous things he got wrong:Promoting open borders that have devastated countries and erased traditionSaying all religions worship the same God (they don't)Claiming the human heart is good (the Bible says it's deceitful above all things)Ignoring original sin and the fallen nature of manThis is a respectful but honest take on a figure who meant a lot to many—but who, like all of us, needed Christ above all.--https://noblegoldinvestments.com/

Easter at EVC | Hope for the HopelessPastor Bart brings a powerful Easter message reminding us that the resurrection of Jesus is the turning point for every life marked by pain, disappointment, or despair.Whether you're walking through anxiety, loss, relational struggles, or feeling stuck in the past—there's hope because Jesus is alive. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, we're reminded that through the resurrection, we are born again to a living hope—one that reframes our present pain, frees us from our past, and secures our future.You'll also hear the deeply moving story of Johnny and Britney Rogers—how Jesus met them in the darkest season of their marriage and is transforming their lives from the inside out.

Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are taking a short break from Ecclesiastes to celebrate Easter with some unique devotionals to prepare our hearts for this week in history. Our text today is Revelation 22:12 Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. — Revelation 22:12 Easter Was Just the Beginning The resurrection wasn't the end of the story—it was the beginning of the greatest promise yet to be fulfilled. Jesus came once as a suffering servant, but He will return as a conquering King. The empty tomb wasn't just proof of His victory over death—it was a guarantee that He is coming again to set all things right. The world is broken. Sin still corrupts. Injustice still thrives. But this is not how the story ends. Just as surely as Jesus walked out of the grave, He will return in glory. Living in Expectation Jesus doesn't tell us exactly when He will return, but He does tell us how to live while we wait. “Stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming” (Matthew 24:42). “Be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect” (Matthew 24:44). “Blessed is the servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes” (Matthew 24:46). His return isn't just a distant hope—it's a daily call to action. We are not meant to sit idly by, waiting. We are called to live faithfully, serve boldly, and proclaim the gospel until He comes. Am I Living for His Return? If we truly believe Jesus is coming back, it should change how we live right now. Are we watching for Him, or are we distracted by the world? Are we living for eternity, or are we chasing temporary things? Are we sharing the gospel, knowing time is short? Many people spend their lives preparing for retirement but spend little time preparing for eternity. Which one matters more? The return of Christ isn't something to fear—it's our greatest hope. The King is coming, and He will make all things new (Revelation 21:5). #JesusIsComing, #EasterHope, #LiveForEternity ASK THIS: How does Jesus' return shape the way you live today? What distractions keep you from living in expectation of His coming? In what ways are you actively preparing for eternity? Who needs to hear the gospel from you before time runs out? DO THIS: Live each day with expectation and urgency, knowing Jesus could return at any moment. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to live with my eyes fixed on eternity, never distracted by the temporary things of this world. May I stay faithful, bold, and ready for Your return. Amen. PLAY THIS: He Who Is To Come.

Be encouraged to gain an eternal perspective by coming into the sanctuary of God this Easter. God is calling all people to repent, change our minds when we consider the difficulties of life and of death.

This message, Living with Eternal Perspective, challenges us to stop living like this world is all there is and start aligning our lives with what actually lasts. In a culture obsessed with the temporary—comfort, success, pleasure—we're reminded that eternity is real, and it should reshape everything: how we think, what we chase, how we love, and how we live. Paul's words in Colossians and 2 Corinthians call us to lift our eyes, fix our focus, and live like Jesus is coming back—because He is. It's not about fear—it's about urgency, clarity, and purpose. If we've been raised to new life with Christ, then it's time we live like we know what forever is worth.You were made for more than this moment. We grind, scroll, and chase things that won't matter five minutes into eternity. But Jesus didn't raise us to live distracted—He raised us to live anchored.

When Jesus faced the worst kind of suffering—betrayal, humiliation, torture, and death—He didn't focus only on the pain of the moment. Instead, He looked beyond it to what the suffering would produce: redemption, resurrection, and the salvation of many. He endured because of the joy set before Him.Hebrews 12:2We are (LIVE) on our website's [Morning Devo] podcast now!:::: sELAH rADIO Network https://soulwinnerz.org ::::::::: https://live.soulwinnerz.org and we want to see who you are by simply clicking here https://chat.restream.io/fb :::::Join the Adult Bible Study: https://soulwinnerz.org/adultBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-blaze-bible-study--525630/support.

What does it mean to walk in wisdom with eternity in view? So much of life is fleeting, but God calls us to set our hearts on what will last forever (Colossians 3:1-2). In this final episode of the Walking in Wisdom series, we're stepping back to see the bigger picture—how wisdom not only guides our daily decisions but prepares us for eternity. ✅ Are we investing in what truly lasts—knowing Christ, growing in holiness, and pointing others to Him? ✅ Are we storing up treasures in heaven instead of being consumed by what will fade away? ✅ Are we living in light of eternity, keeping our eyes on Jesus? Jesus reminds us: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth… but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). This is about more than just wise choices for today—it's about shaping our lives for eternity.

Pastor Josiah covers an interesting portion of Scripture where the disciples are asking questions they shouldn't be. Jesus teaches and corrects a poor way of thinking and uses a child to do so. He also addresses this sectarian mindset amongst the disciples which still unfortunately exists in the Church today. We need a Godly perspective on such matters as we live the life He's called us to do. At times, willing for drastic measures to be taken in order to ensure we're truly looking at Jesus and producing a legacy from what we're looking at — it's all connected.

Our time on earth is temporary, but our impact can be eternal. Inspired by Philippians 1:21, this episode explores how living with an eternal perspective shapes our priorities, removes fear, and pushes us to make every moment count. Are you living for what truly lasts?You Got This, Ryan

SummaryIn this conversation, Benjamin Lee explores the parable of the unjust steward from Luke 16, delving into its complexities and the lessons it imparts about stewardship, wealth, and preparation for eternity. He emphasizes the importance of being shrewd in our dealings, the dangers of loving money, and the call to generosity as a means of securing eternal dwellings. The discussion also contrasts the physical wealth of the unjust steward with the true riches found in faithfulness to God.TakeawaysThe parable of the unjust steward teaches about shrewdness in stewardship.Jesus uses parables to provoke thought and reflection.The unjust steward acted wisely for his future, prompting us to consider our own preparations.Wealth can be unrighteous if it leads to selfishness or greed.Generosity is key to making friends and securing eternal dwellings.The love of money can lead to spiritual downfall.Faithfulness in small matters reflects our character in larger issues.Eternal dwellings should be our ultimate focus, not earthly wealth.The rich man and Lazarus illustrate the consequences of poor stewardship.Preparation for eternity is a pressing responsibility for all believers.Chapters00:00 The Puzzling Parable of the Unjust Steward02:56 Lessons from the Unjust Steward05:53 The Importance of Shrewdness in Stewardship08:59 The Contrast of Riches and True Wealth11:51 Generosity and Eternal Dwellings15:13 The Danger of Loving Money18:07 Stewardship and Character20:58 The Eternal Perspective on Wealth23:47 The Rich Man and Lazarus: A Lesson in Stewardship27:04 The Call to Prepare for Eternity

In this episode, we explore Elijah's “broom bush moment,” looking at the parallels with Elijah's time under the broom tree in 1 Kings 19. After great victories, both prophets faced deep weariness—yet God met them in their lowest moments with rest, provision, and a renewed calling. If you've ever felt burned out, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode will remind you that sometimes, God's first instruction isn't to do more—but to rest, recharge, and listen for His still, small voice.Verses:1 Kings 18:16  - 1 Kings 19:21URHERE Information- www.verycaripodcast.com/urhereConnect with Cari:Instagram: instagram.com/carithompsonrnFacebook: www.facebook.com/cari.ayres.3Website:     VeryCariPodcast.com

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE
